For Sale: Flutes of Different Materials and in Different Keys

The following flutes are offered for your consideration:

From left to right:

M&E flute in Eb, this is really fun flute, I don’t know if it is due to the shorter finger spacing, higher pitch of faster response, it is just plain Fun! Found a new home already.

George Cloos in the key of F made of Cocus with a single F# key. This one is an absolute lark to play, incredibly easy and almost effortless. It’s not a real powerhouse, but has a very nice tone. I repaired a small crack in the head socket and filled in some knots and dings (strictly for cosmetic purposes). Found a new home.

Bamboo D flute with lip-plate, bindings and a C nat. Thumbhole by Tombu. This is the best bamboo flute I’ve ever played with a very nice mellow tone. This flute cracked at the embouchure when Tom was making it (under lip-plate), he repaired it and it is stronger that original. Transferred to our St. Louis Warehouse.

World’s Best Flute! Included for scale purposes only! :smiley:

Hammy D Practice Flute, this flute is amazing! It’s got chiff and edge to the tone and lightning quick response, along with good intonation throughout 2 octaves. This is one of Hammy’s new flutes, he has supposedly refined them. Every time I play this flute, I remember my old Low D ALBA, this doesn’t sound as breathy. Transferred to our St.Louis Warehouse.

Hey CrookedTune,

If you keep practicing your breathing exercises, the Hammy could also convert your regular bath into a Jacuzzi! :laughing:

I had inquiries about the George Cloos F flute.

So here ya go:

It was made in the mid to late 19th century in Brooklyn NY. Geoge Cloos was famous for his fifes, which were the standard during the Civil War.

Here is a better picture of just the Cloos:

The repaired crack is just above the flash reflection and is pretty undecernable (in the photo and in reality).

Here’s a link to a very simular Flute in C (D) from the Dayton C. Miller Collection: http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.music/dcmflute.1122 (SORRY this link is no longer working :confused: ) But you can get to the D.C.M. and search for 1122 here: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/dcmhtml/dmhome.html

Per Langwill: Apprenticed under Crosby ? 1862 listed as “fl., picc., clar., fifes”, by c1900 his son Frederick Phillip in charge of clarinet production, and William of flute production; later “george Cloos & Sons’; 1913 as George Cloos Inc’;1946 bought by Penzel & Muller.


All the Best!
